Kjetil Gjersdal, Chief Executive Officer of Odfjell Drilling AS commented:
“Q3 was another quarter of strong operational performances, delivering
record-breaking financial and operational results. This quarter, our team has
continued to convert our substantial contract backlog into revenue while setting
new benchmarks for efficiency and reliability across the industry.
“Looking ahead, we are well positioned to build on this momentum. With higher
average day-rate contracts already secured, our fleet is fully committed through
the end of 2026, and we expect to extend this visibility further in the near
term.
“As our balance sheet continues to strengthen, supported by strong contract
coverage and disciplined cost management, we remain confident about the future.”
